"Officers are required to give their name and badge number if requested."
This is very interesting, it seems that not all WPD officers follow policy.
I was pulled over on Post Road last April by WPD officer who refused to identify himself when I asked.
The reason I asked was because he was rude, condescending, and unprofessional. Yes, I was going a bit too fast, but that did not necessitate the officer in question screaming at me like a petulant child. I told him there was no reason to yell at me to which he responded by raising his voice even louder and stating "You think this is yelling? You don't know what yelling is!" At which point I asked for his name and badge number and he refused. Very professional.
The officer was a white male, likely in his mid to late 50's, about 6 feet tall (hard to tell when you're sitting) a somewhat thin build, with nearly all grey hair. If you get pulled over by this guy expect to be treated poorly. And I'm a fellow white male in his 50's so I can only imagine how this guy treats someone who doesn't look like him.
